Default Recently bought a 91 coupe

I just acquired a 91 Accord coupe in Cappucino Brown with a 5 speed and I love this car! For the last 5 years or so I've been modifying my daily driver 91 Corolla, and slowly growing to hate her. I'd dropped in a JDM 5afe, installed a later model tranny, redone the interior and some other stuff, but she was rough when I got her, and just kept getting worse. When a buddy offered to sell me his 91 Accord, I couldn't resist. As much as I loved the old rolla, it was time to let her go. He had paid $2400.00 USD a year ago and offered her to me for $910 because he needed some quick cash. She only has three small rust spots around the rear wells, a few dents and scratches and a badly faded hood (looks like a repaint without a clearcoat, I can see original paint under a chip) After an afternoon with rubbing compound and half a bottle of Nathan's wax, she looks good, but fades out in a week or two again. The interior is almost perfect, and still has the original floor mats (getting a little worn, but still there). I am surprised at how damn quick this car is. I opened up the factory airbox, and plan on building a CAI for her, plus I'm thinking about a bigger exhaust. I figure 2" or 2.25" with a header and a hi flow oval muffler should make things sound and run nice. I've already done battle with the overheating main relay problem, and I need to rebuild the power antenna ( it runs, but seems to be unhooked internally, no motion). I'll get some pics up after her next bath and wax.
